The integration of the Kentavros anti-drone system into Israel Aerospace Industries' BARAK-MX air and missile defense system has been successfully completed, enhancing Greece's air defense capabilities. This integration follows a Memorandum of Cooperation signed between Hellenic Aerospace Industry (HAI) and IAI, further expanded during the DEFEA defense exhibition with a partnership involving ELTA Systems for the co-production of an autonomous underwater system.

Kentavros will be installed on Greece's new Belharra frigates and MEKO frigates. The BARAK-MX, equipped with a multilayered defense architecture, includes various interceptor ranges and electronic warfare capabilities from Kentavros, allowing Greece to manage aerial threats efficiently. The partnership aims to contribute to Greece's national defense strategy and enhance the domestic defense industry's role in major programs, with ongoing negotiations for future armaments.
